}

Solution

“snmp_v3_credentials" is no longer used by Checkmk and, therefore, MUST be removed for the API to work.

Log in as the site user.
root@linux~$ su mysite
.
grep for snmp_v3_credentials in ~/etc/check_mk/conf.d/wato
OMD[mysite]:~$ grep snmp_v3_credentials ~/etc/check_mk/conf.d/wato/*
.
Go to Setup → Hosts and resave the properties of the hosts and folders found in Step 2
Repeat that for all results of step 2
Reschedule the DCD connection again.
